Wonder what the people that live around that area think about it. What would you think if this disaster was in your backyard, or in an area where you liked to go for hunting & fishing. But hey, the president of the mine says the water is fine for drinking, and won't harm fish. Pink salmon are not the lowest form of life, and shouldn't be treated as such.
Alaska really does not need these types of mines operating here.
And there are other threads besides this type that have little if any productiveness around here...

Bristol Bay Vs. Pebble can be put to rest...
No more what if's and promises and hypothetical situations - we now get to see the resluts when the unthinkable happens. Pebble/Northern Dynasty hired the same company in 2006 to design the Pebble tailings dam that built the Mount Polley tailings dam - one they said would never fail.
All of the questions about whether the salmon and their spawning/rearing habitat can coexist with a large scale mine that produces toxic tailings will be answered over the next 20-30 years.
My heart goes out to those who live on/near the Fraser; your lives have been changed. Like the Valdez spill of 89 - Imperial Metals will litigate away their true responsibility of this disaster.
To all of those who made a living off the sustainable fisheries and the pristine vacation areas in/on the Fraser River systems - I wish you luck in the enormous battle you have ahead with Imperial Metals.
Definitely a sad sad situation...When all else fails...ask your old-man.
